Water workshops

Water workshops are one of our newer ways of connecting and supporting our fabulous Wai Carers. We run them across the Auckland region through the year with the aim to develop and reinforce our citizen scientists skills on water quality monitoring, but we also like to include a new watery theme each time.

Our friends over at Kaipatiki Project worked with us to host a workshop where we had a great turnout of enthusiastic teachers, students, and community members that were eager to learn about the threats to freshwater environments, the treasures that live within them, and how we can all do our part to keep our waterways healthy.

Everyone got to identify macroinvertebrates, test the water quality, and play guess that pollutant!Whitebait connection also gave a great talk on our native whitebait species and the great work they are doing to support inanga.
